We've learned to hurt each other
But didn't just stop there
We've learned to kill our brother
Does anybody care?

The air outside polluted
The ground is slowly dyin'
We say we're not making life worse
But mother, damn we're tryin'

Can't wait, oh for that day
Take us back, take us back to the light,
Oh my God don't forsake us,
Take us back, take us back to the light

Continents are starving
The picture ain't so bright
If I had my billion dollars
You know I'd set things right

As if we couldn't do enough
We've got wars to feed our egos
Slaying, betraying, no one gaining 
Is anyone a hero?

Some say it's time to change, 
Yeah, some call it the end
I don't care where we're going
Take me back to the promised land
